Olive Green Organics Amaranth & Rice Penne is an artisan gluten-free pasta distinguished by its purity and use of traditional Andean grains. Unlike many mass-market gluten-free pastas, it contains no added starches, vegetable gums, or fillers.
- Composition: A simple blend of organic rice, organic amaranth, and water.
- Texture: Engineered to maintain a firm, authentic "al dente" texture that does not fall apart or become mushy during cooking.
- Nutrition: Naturally high in fibre, protein, and essential minerals due to the inclusion of amaranth, an ancient "complete protein" grain.
- Production: Made in a certified fair-trade facility in Bolivia that focuses on ethical employment practices, including supporting new mothers and people with disabilities. [1, 2]
Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil with a generous pinch of salt.
- Add the penne and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cook for 13–15 minutes until it reaches your desired "al dente" firmness.
- Drain and serve promptly with your preferred sauce. [3, 4, 5, 6]
